Thunderstorms, that developed in Minnesota north of a warm front, downed trees and power lines as they moved through central Wisconsin.  The worst damage was in Portage county where wind gusts estimated as high as 75 mph downed numerous trees and power lines, destroyed solar panels on the roof of a building at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, toppled a tree onto a house in Stevens Point and overturned a boat, in a boat lift, on the Wisconsin River.  A spotter in Plover recorded 1.02 inches of rain in ten minutes.  Ten thousand customers lost power during the storm, including the Stevens Point Area YMCA where the power outage caused a check valve to malfunction, allowing 80,000 gallons of water from the swimming pool to flood the basement.
